PCRD: Rapid nucleic acid detection for point of care molecular testing

PCRD is a rapid nucleic acid detection test designed for supporting migration of molecular testing from the laboratory to point of care. Available in 2 formats, for use alongside isothermal amplification, PCRD uses lateral flow technology to detect labelled amplicons in minutes. Nucleic acid detection using PCRD is straightforward, meaning molecular testing can be deployed in many near-patient locations. This versatile application provides a rapid response tool to an infectious disease outbreak and is key in a a decentralised testing strategy. PCRD adapts to established testing protocols without the need for major changes. With minimal training and no requirement to re-design primers, diagnostic companies can expand their services to include portable molecular testing and reduce the need for laboratory based methods. Only 5 steps are required to start using PCRD. Label your primers or probes, then carry out the amplification protocol as normal. Add the amplified-reaction-sample to the PCRD buffer, mix and apply to PCRD. Upon sample application the carbon particles will bind to the target amplicons before being captured at the test lines by the immobilized antibodies.After 10 minutes, record the result. PCRD is available as an off the shelf product. If you require an altered specification, our assay development team can adapt PCRD . Our state of the art, high-volume precision manufacturing will guarantee on-going supply. Flexibility and ease of use is at the heart of PCRD. Let PCRD take your molecular testing to the next level by enabling a faster diagnostics service in multiple locations. PCRD. Making point-of-care molecular testing become a reality.
